Nicholas Lovell is one of the most in-demand consultants in the games business, with a client list that includes some of the industry’s biggest publishers and developers as well as media companies and promising start-ups.

His focus is on helping companies to understand how to adapt to the new business models which are essential for making money from games and media in the Internet age. His clear, practical understanding of self-publishing and making money from games can help your business to face the challenges of a tough new era.

Nicholas’ innovative, analytical and thorough approach to these rapidly changing markets is very useful and I am happy to say that I have worked with, and paid for, his expertise – and will do so again in the future.
